Great jacket! Admittedly, with the liner in it’s quite heavy, but for me that’s actually an advantage. It doesn’t restrict freedom of movement. It’s very warm—even on freezing evenings, just a T-shirt underneath is enough. The material is sturdy and durable, so branches or small thorns aren’t a problem. The pockets are roomy. At first glance, the zip seems too short and sewn in too high, but once you put the jacket on, you can see it’s positioned perfectly—it effectively protects against the wind and doesn’t make bending down difficult. In short: it’s worth buying without hesitation and simply wearing endlessly.
Brandit M65 Giant jacket with removable insulated liner - Black
All-season jacket in black, inspired by the iconic American M65 model, valued worldwide for its durability and functionality. It is made from a blend of polyester and cotton and features a removable insulated liner, a concealed hood in the high collar, and 4 practical pockets. The outer cotton layer has been factory aged, giving it a washed vintage-style look.
The M65 model is a style icon with a rich history: it appears in numerous films and TV series. It was worn by characters such as Sylvester Stallone in “Rambo” and Robert De Niro in “Taxi Driver”.
Durable materials, insulated liner
The outer layer of the jacket is made of 100% cotton and factory aged, ensuring a washed vintage-style effect. Inside there is a polyester liner fastened with a zip. The inner side of the liner, made in terry technology, increases wearing comfort and improves thermal insulation properties. For user comfort, the liner is additionally stabilised with buttons sewn in at the neck and in the sleeves, which prevents it from shifting, ensuring comfort and full freedom of movement.
4 roomy pockets
The M65 Giant model is equipped with two roomy chest pockets and two at the waist, allowing you to store essentials such as a phone, wallet, gloves, or cap. All pockets close with snaps.
Concealed hood, shoulder epaulettes
The jacket includes a hood that can be stowed in the high stand-up collar, allowing it to be adapted to current weather conditions. Shoulder epaulettes add a military character.
Placket protecting against cold and wind, adjustable cuffs
The main closure is a sturdy zip protected by a windproof strip with snaps. It protects the zip from jamming due to dirt or dust and increases thermal insulation. Velcro-adjustable cuffs and drawstrings at the waist and hem allow the jacket to be adjusted to the body shape, which helps protect against cold and wind.

Review summary
The Brandit M65 Giant jacket is highly regarded for its high-quality construction, durable materials, and great functionality. Customers value its classic, military-inspired design and remark that it performs well across all seasons, owing to a thick, removable lining. The jacket protects effectively against cold, wind, and light rain, with spacious pockets that make carrying a bag unnecessary. Sizing tends to run a bit large, but the jacket provides versatile adjustment options and a comfortable fit. A few users note the absence of internal pockets and that the loose cut without the lining can be less flattering. This is a long-lasting, reliable jacket, ideal for daily wear and outdoor activities. Many buyers return for more, making it a classic piece worth its price.

It arrived yesterday! Black. The jacket is great! Really stylish. Fantastic. The lining is great on its own, you can wear it separately. Nice cut, it's longer than I thought, but that's just a plus. The sleeves are quite long (with Velcro so you can fold them), but that suits me. All-year-round, suitable for any occasion. It’s not super lightweight but very comfortable and the weight doesn't bother me. Size "s" is more like an "m", but with this cut it doesn't matter. Fits well. "A bit" expensive... But it's so fantastic that it's worth spending the money and enjoying it.

A true classic among classics. Compared with other M65 models, it stands out for its excellent, unrivalled cotton. On top of that, it offers a wide selection of colours and sizes, along with a fit that works well for people with broader shoulders.

Good quality heavy duty jacket. Very warm with internal fleece. I bought a size too big so I could wear another fleece hoody underneath for the Canadian weather. Love Brandit wear. Quick delivery without any fuss.

I’ve been using the olive version for two and a half years, and the jacket has proven to be excellent — it’s comfortable, practical, durable, and also looks very good. Size L fits well after removing the insulation and still leaves room for a thicker sweatshirt at a height of 184 cm and a weight of 94 kg without being overweight. I recommend it with complete confidence.

The jacket has an excellent fit and sits as if it were made especially for me. In my opinion, everyone should have their own 65 in their wardrobe, because they definitely won’t be disappointed with it. It is an excellent jacket for every season.

The jacket is brilliant, I can only agree with all the positive reviews. BUT: the fabric in black attracts fluff like a vacuum cleaner. You can spend the whole day going over it with a lint roller. I've already tried everything, nothing helped. I'm going to get the same jacket in a light/camouflage colour as well.

Size: M
I didn’t like the quality; the outer fabric looks cheap and is not very thick, threads are sticking out all around the seams, and the pockets are too small. Size M turned out to be too small, although the comments say it comes up large; I don’t think so. I had to return it

I bought the olive colour. The jacket is wonderful! The lining itself is great, warm. The cut is excellent — a classic. The sleeves are quite long (they can be adjusted with Velcro), with windproof cuffs. With the lining, it’s not too lightweight, but very comfortable. I took size XL — for a height of 183 cm, it fits just right.

The jacket was exactly as it should be. I’ve already bought another one as a spare, even though I now have 2 M65 Giant jackets at home. This will see you through from autumn to spring. Among other things, thanks to the warm removable teddy lining, it is so versatile.

A very beautiful jacket; you can feel the quality as soon as you put it on. The removable lining is really practical and keeps you nice and warm when temperatures drop. I really like the cut and the many pockets, and the black style is really successful too.

Very good quality and a great jacket. I had been planning to buy it for quite some time and finally decided to do so. I expect it will serve me well for many years. The delivery was exceptionally fast — the order placed on Sunday arrived as early as Monday. I definitely recommend it.

Very nice jacket, with a finish that really gives an impression of sturdiness. Lots of pockets, a very warm lining, and a very comfortable fit. It is perfect for cold days, and its military style is really successful.

You’ll love this jacket. Great cut, material, perfect pockets, very pleasant fabric. A year-round jacket, over a T-shirt or a hoodie. The removable lining is great. A stylish jacket that fits beautifully and is suitable anywhere 👍 I recommend it. A Military eu. Excellent online shop. Always great satisfaction.

Reading some of the reviews, I get the impression that I bought a completely different jacket. Unfortunately, this model was made from weak, tarpaulin-like material and finished with something resembling a lining. The pockets are not very practical — it's hard to put your hand into them, and on top of that they are not as roomy as the description suggests. I chose a size suitable for someone around 190 cm tall, but the sleeves look as if they were sewn for a person who is 210 cm tall. With the liner attached, the jacket still fits fairly well, but once it is removed, it looks terrible and hangs like a sack. It is hard to imagine how it will perform in the first rain, although I myself do not know whether I will wear it at all. I understand that it does not have to be a faithful copy of the original, but it also should not deviate so much from the concept of the excellent M65 jacket. The quality is poor and definitely not adequate for the price. Additionally, I have come across opinions that the jacket is sewn in Germany — unfortunately, that is a naive assumption, because it looks more like Chinese production, if not something outsourced even farther afield. Finally: the hood on this model is more of a symbolic add-on than a genuinely functional element.
